I know I nag you all to stretch more, but Joe says it more eloquently than me!

One thing I’ve really worked on over the past year is my flexibility and mobility. Like all aspects of fitness it takes work, dedication, commitment and discipline. I don’t enjoy doing it. It’s probably the most uncomfortable thing to do but stretching is so important if we want to live pain free and working on the range of motion in your joints is essential for longevity as we get older. I want to be strong but I also want to be able to move my body well and freely as I get older. I probably spend about 15 minutes in total a day at random times. I might do a pigeon pose or hip flexor low lunge stretch whilst watching TV or sometimes I sit on the floor in this splits position whist on a zoom call. That may seem silly but no one cares and it’s the only way I get to fit it in my day. I have to distract myself while I’m doing it or I get too bored and don’t do it. Try to incorporate a little stretching into your day and feel the incredible benefits to your body and training. These photos are almost a year apart. Progress is very slow but it does feel good to see the changes over time. Do you feel you stretch enough & do you have any injuries you think could be helped by doing more? ❤️

What an incredible display of strength and balance. Never let your brain tell you that you can't do it. With perseverance and patience, anything is possible.

Yes, its a testicle in grief!!

Doctors at a Canadian hospital found a shocking image staring right back at them as they were scanning the testicles of a 45-year-old paraplegic man.

The image of one of the testicles, shown above, looks like a man's face grimaced in agony. The image, taken in 2009, was sent to the medical journal 'Urology,' and was recently published with the headline, 'The face of testicular pain: A surprising ultrasound finding.'

Hello everyone, I have received official confirmation that Osteopathy Clinics are allowed to remain open during this lockdown.
As always, I will have rigorous infection control measures in place to ensure your safety and mine.
Please wear a mask before entering the clinic, and arrive on time to your appointment. Please do not come early as I have to allow a certain amount of time between patients to ventilate the room and clean. I also want to prevent any patient crossover.
If anyone is feeling unsure about attending their appointments please do not hesitate to contact me so that we can talk it through.
Healthy wishes,
Lara
